Great-Grandfather Diarmait MacDonnchada MacMurchada was a charming rascal.

Anyone descended from Isabel de Clare [c. 1174-1220], Countess Strigoil is
descended from Diarmait MacDonnchada MacMurchada.

[Suo jure Countess of Pembroke. Europäische Stammtafeln, ed. Schwennicke,
n.s. III:156).]

Do I have his name right in the subject line and above?

The Normans could never subdue Wales, Henry II sent his Norman
Marcher Lords into Ireland because they were becoming a bit
rebellious with the Welsh.

Strongbow went to Ireland off his own bat. To avoid a repetition of the
Marcher problem Henry II sent royal troops to support him in exchange
for full homage.

Dermot MacMurchada had approached Henry II for permission to recruit the
Marcher Lords before he approached Strongbow.

Subject: Diarmaid Mac Murrough

| I understand he was born in 1100 and died 1 January 1171 at Ferns, county
| Wexford.

| Then I found a description how in 1132 he burned down the Abbey of
| Kildare, raped the Abbess and became king of Leinster.

| Then about 1167 "having been deposed" he asks Henry II of England for
| support, Richard de Clare 'Strongbow' comes and marries Diarmaid's
| daughter.

| Is there anything more known about him? I understand he was deposed
| because he had helped himself to the wife of another Irish king (which
| one?).

| Can anyone add to the life of Diarmaid?

| Many thanks.
